Lawdy A chisel angle jaw and olive color/size eyes stunned. I set
out and won Lee - seems I just wanted a chance to see him across the table. Ain't no real fable, things would eventually assume clarity, but not before he, Lee, would roundly chase me. Knew that i was firmly in sight of his remarkable orbs when he recounted his parent's question, following his to them about whether they'd care for his daughter Kai while he visited me in an adjoining state. "Oh, what's her name?" they'd chimed. Kai, his lithe sprite named for water; Lee grasped the name for her while reading a Hawaiian fable around the time of Kai's planetary descent. Lee spoke my name; they added it to their curios. "So," they then asked, "Is she colored?" "Yeah," (flinching), then, "Why do you ask?" "'Cause those people always give their kids weird names." "Hmmm.so what are their names?" I blinked, stinging. A sly grin crept over Lee's face. "Ardiss and Burdette.Theophilus." Lawdy. By Vernyce Dannells QLRS Vol. 2 No. 4 Jul 2003_____
